Hi everyone it's Suzi B here with white on white mid week motivation. I thought I'd share a card that's quick and easy to make because at this time of year time is precious.

So these cards have no stamping, no cutting out and no colouring...

Two variations an A5 card and a 6"x6" square card. I used my Cuttlebug for dry embossing , small and large snowflake punches... quicker than using dies, (I think) Martha Stewart edge punch. Oops forgot there is a bit of stamping.... the sentiment is from IndigoBlu stamped in Versafine Smokey Grey, a few gems, a snowflake charm with some silver cord... Actually the cord gave me my biggest problem I couldn't get it to stay where I wanted it to be and as for the bow!! if any of you have this mastered perhaps you could let me know how to do it... :o)

The embossed card is raised slightly from the base card, the snowflake is fixed flatter than I would've like but I was baring in mind postage. The snowflakes arms can be raised once its reached it's destination..Mind you not sure it's a good idea to send a card with instructions! tee hee

Hi, Caz here again, I know how busy everyone is at present either making Christmas cards, or even out shopping for them. Hopefully you will get some time to enter the Favourite Flower Challenge. I decided for the mid week motivation to move to my second favourite flower which is a bluebell. I have made an easel card and the additional inspiration in this post is I hope to encourage you to give a gift along with your card, by enclosing a bookmark.

The stamp of the Bluebell is from Elusive Images (Chocolate Baroque). The butterfly is by Lyndsay Mason from her tattered Butterflies set. Coloured with Promarkers. background Papers from a pack by Papermania.
